♥ A musical tribute for husband and wife ♥

I’ve been thinking about what my wedding song would be since I was a little girl. It’s like the overture to your very own love story – and you want it to be good. Ladies, surely I’m not the only one. read more »

♥ as wedding photographers, we like to prepare ourselves ♥

 

We’re always fully prepared for a wedding – you have to be as a wedding photographer; fully charged batteries, spare batteries, spare memory cards, spare camera, tripods, shutter cable release, external flashes, diffusers, reflectors… The only thing we aren’t ever fully prepared for (as humans) is the emotional side of things. Documenting one of the most important days in two people’s lives is rewarding, but at the same time poignant and extremely moving. read more »

♥ heaven on earth ♥ {Honeymoon Destination}


I am convinced that the Maldives is the closest place on Earth to heaven – making it one of the best honeymoon destinations in the world. I came across this beautiful tranquil resort and spa, (which, naturally, is in the Maldives). It’s called the Anantara Dhigu Resort and Spa, Maldives. Check out some stunning pictures of the villas, suites and spa here.

♥ the wedding proposal ♥

Every girl has wondered what her dream wedding proposal would be like. I think we all agree that the one knee stance and the four-word phrase of “Will you marry me?” are key features not to be excluded. However there is room for human error considering how nervous a proposal can make a man feel. It’s not every day you ask a woman to be yours, unless you’re Jacob Zuma. read more »

♥ “Will you marry me?” ♥

We found this today on the website 10and5. It’s one of our car flyers that we’ve been distributing to promote For Life photography as a Cape Town wedding photographer service. The responses from the flyers have been astounding! Some Capetonians have burst out laughing and others have turned around suspiciously looking for someone in a bush with a video camera.

We wanted to capture the attention of people in Cape Town in a unique way and what better way to do it than to leave what looks like a hand-written “Will you marry me?” note on an unsuspecting Capetonian’s windscreen.

If you have received one of these flyers or love what we did, please feel free to leave a comment below!
